Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (3g) ground flaxseeds
  • 1 scoop (30g) plant-based vanilla protein powder

Instructions:

  1. Pour the rolled oats, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and salt into your 16 oz Mason jar. Note: Whisk these dry ingredients briefly so the chia seeds don't settle in one spot.
  2. Combine the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. If you're using the protein powder, whisk it into the milk separately before pouring it into the jar until no lumps remain.
  3. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry oats.
  4. Stir the mixture vigorously for 60 seconds. Note: This ensures every oat is hydrated.
  5. Let the jar sit on your kitchen counter for 10 minutes.
  6. Stir the mixture one final time until any dry oats at the bottom are fully incorporated.
  7. Seal the lid tightly.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours until the texture is thick and glossy.
